The programme commenced by recitation of the Holy Quran by Sister Asifa and was
then followed by Sister Maheen Kausar who recited beautifully the praises of the
Holy Prophet (SAW). Throughout the programme Sister Ambreen gave brief
introduction to Minhaj-ul-Quran International (MQI) and its subsidiary Minhaj
Welfare Foundation (MWF). She also highlighted the great literature produced by
his eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri that is widely
available in the form of DVDs and books. She also introduced some of the great
works produced by his eminence Shaykh-ul-Islam i.e. Fatwa on Terrorism & Suicide
Bombings, Irfan-ul-Quran, Minhaj-us-Savi etc.

One of the chief guests from London, Sister Khadija Atkinson delivered a great
speech on the importance of attending such spiritual gatherings to develop
attachment to the personality of the Holy Prophet (SAW). She also emphasized the
importance of studying the Seerah of the Holy Prophet (SAW) and implementing it
within our lives. She elaborated the importance of Hijab and underlined the need
for changing the directions of our lives from the worldly pleasures towards the
Holy Prophet’s (SAW) personality, who alone is beneficial to us in this world
and hereafter.

The final speech was delivered in Urdu by the second chief guest from London,
Sister Faiza Qadri; who delivered an effective speech on the topic ‘why we
should celebrate Milad-un-Nabi (SAW)’. She supported the celebration of
Mawlid-un-Nabi (SAW) by quoting various Quranic verses and ahadith of the Holy
Prophet (SAW). She also highlighted that Allah Almighty Himself celebrated the
birth of His Beloved Messenger (SAW). Sister Faiza concluded by quoting many
great scholars that the night of Mawlid-un-Nabi (SAW) is greater than all nights
of the year including Laila-tul-Qadr, Shab-e-Qadr because this night the
Greatest of all Creations, and the Mercy for the entire Mankind came to this
world and it is due to the birth of the Holy Prophet (SAW) that the Holy Quran
was revealed; it is due to the Beloved Messenger (SAW) that Allah Almighty
bestowed upon us the night of Laila-tul-Qadr and all other great nights.
The gathering concluded with invoking greetings and salutations on the Holy
Prophet (SAW) by Sister Ruhi Ahmed (Vice President of Women League Glasgow) and
Maheen Kauser and supplication was made in the court of Allah Almighty by all
